who wants to win?

I want to try something new. One thing that is a great part of my life that I could not live without is Service. I love doing things for others. I enjoy cooking, crafting or whatever else and giving them to friends, family or whoever. I feel so blessed for everything I do have in my life that I want to share with others. I received a clipboard from one of my good friends for Mother's Day. It is awesome. I was making some over the weekend and I thought I would make a couple and give them away to my friendly bloggers. Anyone can win (even if I don't know you) For the first time just post a comment and I will put your name into a drawing. Later on I may ask for something like your favorite recipe or something and chose a winner that way. There are two clipboards to give away. These are awesome. It will come with a notepad for notes. I will often clip my bills, paychecks, grocery list and errands to my clipboard when I go into town. I have a big purse and I hate just throwing things in there. They could get lost! So with my clipboard I have everything in order. Here is a pic of one of them. Sorry it's not very clear or a close up. Hopefully you can still see it


I will draw two names probably on Wednesday. So stay tunned! (I was able to click on the pic and it came up bigger so you can really see what it looks like)

The other day I was driving Paige home from soccer practice and she was telling me that Mr. Cunha wanted everyone to say their favorite day of the week. She told me everybody said Friday or Saturday except for her. I asked what her favorite day was and she told me it was Monday. In my head I was asking myself Why Monday? It's our bussiest most caotic day. She said it was Monday because that's the day of Family Home Evening. I felt like the worse parent ever! Like I said Mondays are very busy and chaotic and for the last couple months we haven't had Family HOme Evening. They beg every Monday, but by the time we get time to do it it's time for bed. It made me realize how much they do love FHE and how much they do learn from it and really how important it is in their lives. So I woke the girls up early this morning so they could get their reading and piano done so we would have time to do it tonight. It's sad to think that My 6-year-old daughter had to say that for me to realize. I guess that's why we have kids, to keep us on the straight and narrow!
